DAF Trucks launch 3D online configurator

Reduced lead times and improved efficiencies are some of the advantages the new 3D DAF Truck Configurator is said to provide dealers and bodybuilders according to commercial vehicle manufacturer.

As it retrieves data direct from the original design source the 3D DAF Truck Configurator displays all available factory options, which include accurate cab variants and axle configurations, making the exact positioning and review of components like fuel tanks, after-treatment and battery boxes, possible.

All factory options are reportedly configurable. Online configuration of the optimal truck for every application will include two, three or four-axles, single or double drive, steered or non-steered trailing axle, day, sleeper or extra spacious Space or Super Space Cab across every conceivable truck and chassis variant.

During the online specification process the virtual truck can be rotated 360 degrees making it possible to check the chosen chassis, cab and options enabling, DAF Trucks claims, optimal choice for the application and proposed superstructure. As a result complete vehicle specifications can be shared directly with the bodybuilder.

Road transport operators and fleet owners will be able to seek out competitive offers by sending configurations directly to a DAF dealer.

The 3D DAF Truck Configurator is currently being pioneered on DAF Trucks European websites but will be available for use in all countries.
